The barista at my local coffee shop's friend's babysitter's dad is a data analyst at LSAC. He said we were gonna get scores yesterday but the Hurricane takers pushed it back to tomorrow. Also, the average on Game 3 was -2 so we got a -12 scale.
The average was a -12? That seems surprisingly low. I mean, I think I solved it, but it seems a lot of people failed to solve it and therefore probably missed most of the questions.

Also. I've said it before, but I'll say it again.

"a lot of people" meaning like 10-15 people on TLS. Remember the sample size.
Yeah, but TLS is generally far above average. The average person here is realistically looking at T14, whereas the average person outside of here is looking at TT and below.
Is this truth or just wishful thinking on our part?

To the extent that I mentioned? No idea, but I think it's absolutely true that online communities self select to a higher quality population than the general population as a whole, however trivial you think that might be.

The two aren't mutually exclusive... it could be the truth and we could be thinking it

Truth and "just" wishful thinking are mutually exclusive tho

I don't think the LG set is going to pull that curve down to -12 -- you are right, it wasn't that bad. I think if it turns out to be -12 it would be in large part cuz of the LR. LR was harder in oct than PT75

Say I am unaware of the truth. Here I am "just" wishfully thinking it could happen. Aren't we all in that boat right now? We are all wishfully thinking for our target (or higher

) lsat scores, our target schools, our target jobs. Yet we do not know the truth, yet. So Perhaps the truth does align with our wishful thinking, we "just" aren't aware of it yet...

On second thought, I'll gladly be this barista's friend's babysitter if it means I get to talk to (and get paid by!) an LSAC consultant

I assumed that the friend hires a babysitter to take care of their kid, not that the friend himself/herself needs a babysitter
